Shiite Muslim leaders in Lebanon and Iran are expressing outrage over remarks by the Reverend Jerry Falwell.
Last week, on the program 60- Minutes, Falwell called Islam's prophet a terrorist.
An Iranian paper quotes a high- ranking religious leader as saying Falwell is a quote "mercenary and must be killed."
The reported statements came during Friday prayers, and the Muslim leader went on to say that Falwell's death "is a religious
duty,'' but that his case should not be tied to the Christian community.
